  • Developed a secure on-device AI system in Docker for local data processing workflows.
  • Automated an internal data-search task, saving 13.87 minutes per hour of analyst work.
  • Used test-bench behavior and internal requirement documents to inform system design decisions.

Researcher

University of Wisconsin-Madison | Madison, WI

May 2024 - present
  • Built a low-cost wearable capacitive sensing platform that can be scanned, visualized, and logged from a smartphone.
  • Created a cross-platform iOS and Android app for real-time capacitance data capture.
  • Reduced estimated per-unit cost to $0.40-$0.65 at scale, 75-90% below comparable Bluetooth systems.
  • Awarded 2nd place out of 37 projects at the ECE Undergraduate Research Symposium; patent filed.
  • Built Python workflows for RF/microwave inverse design using CST simulation, optimization, surrogate modeling, and physics-based performance prediction.
  • Built a production-style antenna test platform for electric-field validation using thermal imaging at two polarizations, STM32/grblHAL motion control, RF relay timing, and automated cold/hot delta-image capture.
  • Developed real-time computer vision tooling for running-form analysis with 20+ biomechanical metrics at 35 FPS.
